Deep, straight-sided containers are the real drowning risk, not shallow dishes like this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDoes the colour affect how the crab uses the bowl?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo — colour is cosmetic. It exists mainly to help keepers, not crabs, tell the fresh and salt water bowls apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhere can I find the bowl's exact dimensions?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eZoo Med doesn't publish them on the current product listing.
